Prosecutors are not trying hard; they're taking a dive. Jury is loaded with relatives of addicts, sympathetic to HB. Testimony is all about how poor Hunter has suffered but has bravely overcome his addiction. Normally, prosecutor would object as Irrelevant. Issue is whether he lied on the form; overcoming addiction not related to that, not part of the law. They are setting up for jury nullification. I predict defense will ask for nullification instruction, prosecution will not object, and judge will not deny the request. Not Guilty verdict. Fix is in.
